WOW

This is just amazing.

I love it and it made me cry too! So incredibly sad and intensely hot at the same time! I feel so bad for Laura :( It just makes me want to cry

You guys just make it so real and your imagery is fantstic!

I would pick out my favorite parts but I would just end up putting the whole thing in the comment <3

I cant wait for part two!!!!!!

[icedteainthebag]

You're so sweet. :) Very happy that it made you cry, yet you thought it was hot. larsfarm77 and I have often joked about how combining our strengths is like Overwhelming Angst + Hot Porn. You just can't lose.

Hope you like tomorrow's chapter! :)

Awww, *hugs you*. I know we got emotional writing this; they are just going through so much at this point that everything is raw. Thank you for letting us know how this affected you, loved reading your comments. More tomorrow :)

[icedteainthebag]

Thank you! I hope you continue to enjoy the story. :)

[larsfarm77]

Thank you! One of the reasons I love to write for A/R is all the emotion that's under the surface in their scenes. Fanfic really allows that to be explored. Hope you continue to enjoy!

I love a fic that makes me feel as if I've been punched in the gut. The deep level of emotion in this is beautifully done. Can't wait for more.

[icedteainthebag]

This was wonderful feedback. I'm so happy you felt it--that's what we were going for. Thanks for reading. :)

[larsfarm77]

I'm exactly the same way. The harder an author hits me, the more I love them. Thanks for letting us know how this affected you -- very appreciated.

Awww, you are going to break my heart in the best way with this aren't you? Angsty and beautiful. I particularly loved her desperation in wanting to get him off and yet resenting him, and how he was helpless at her touch. *sigh* I can't wait for more.

Awww, you are going to break my heart in the best way with this aren't you?

No comment... ;)

Thank you so much for the feedback. (((i_am_davnee)))

[larsfarm77]

(((Davnee))), that was all my writing partner. I love that scene, too. More soon :)

I've been looking forward to this for months now. Months. And it was more than worth the wait. You've already absolutely floored me. I love how real it is and how no punches are pulled and how you're delving into the dark and painful side of Laura's cancer without fear. It's strong and it's complicated and it's so hurtful and so so so good. I could start pulling lines and images out of this story, but I'd be here all night.

I can tell this is going to be amazing. It already is. From your imagery to your sentence structure. I can only hope to pull off something as good one of these days.

I can't wait for more.

((((snoopy))))

Thank you... I don't even know what to say. Your feedback has me floored. lol.

Coming from you (one of my favorite authors, you know this), this means a lot. And don't you even get down on yourself--you're amazingly talented and don't you say otherwise.

I hope you continue enjoying the story. ♥

[larsfarm77]

Awww, sorry we made you wait so long. All my fault, being the slowest writer in the room. This fic really has two sides to it. We wanted to ground it in the reality of their situation, but at the same time, allow them room to heal. It was difficult to balance, and I hope that you enjoy where it goes.

I can only hope to pull off something as good one of these days

You have.

Thank you for the amazing comments!
